Show that each of the following systems of linear equations is consistent and also find their
6x + 4y = 2
9x + 6y = 3
The above system of equations can be written as
or AX = B
Where A = B =
and X =
|A| = 36 – 36 = 0
So, A is singular, Now X will be consistence if (Adj A)xB = 0
C11 = (– 1)1 + 1 6 = 6
C12 = (– 1)1 + 2 9 = – 9
C21 = (– 1)2 + 1 4 = – 4
C22 = (– 1)2 + 2 6 = 6
Also, adj A =
=
(Adj A).B =
=
Thus, AX = B will be infinite solution,
Let y = k
Hence, 6x = 2 – 4k or 9x = 3 – 6k
X =
Hence, X = , Y = k
